Janay Rice: Baltimore Ravens Told Me To Apologize For Elevator Assault

In an interview with NBC News' Matt Lauer, Rice explained that she thought participating in the press conference would boost both the couple's image in the media and her husband's career.

"The Ravens basically gave us a general script" and suggested that she issue an apology, Rice told Lauer.

"I was basically — not doing what I was told but at the same time I didn't think it was completely wrong for me to apologize," she added. "Because at the end of the day, I got arrested too."

But Rice said she also understood why the apology didn't sit well with the public.
